High-toned, glorious fruit, round and creamy, plenty of flesh with just enough spine. Velvet texture, lots of breadth across the palate, moves to a spice-laden finish. Fruit loops, candied citrus, peach and candied apple.

Gloriously honeysuckle-y and touch of acidity to counteract Filipino while grilled fish

This is one of Germanys most famous vineyards and Von Winning has made a very vibrant, concentrated and age worthy wine from it. Bursting with lime, rocks, smoke and yellow fruits. Great texture.

Wow! White Burgundy-like intensity, highlighting tart stone fruit and cedar. This is one of those how-can-riesling-do-this wines. Outstanding!

I was so ready to love this but seems I’m a few years too early - seems very flat and shut down to what I would expect.

Hints of petrol, loads of ripe fruit like mango and mandarin.
Don’t drink it too cold is my advise. Fantastic wine!
